Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He should retire
Telehealth
Have only met with him via Telehealth. Other than the first visit, which was maybe 20 minutes (not a lot for a new patient with complex condition), the follow ups have been only about five minutes each. He seems very disinterested in actually discussing my condition. Further, he has failed to send in the correct prescription to the speciality pharmacy even after repeated calls to his office. One of his research fellows actually berated me and talked to me like a child when Thorpy had her call about the continuing mess-up. And yet the prescription still wasn't sent in correctly. Going to a new doctor next week, would not recommend anyone uses this doctor. He is past his prime.

I was very uncomfortable speaking with him. I thought he used his status to try to intimidate me into thinking what he was saying was correct -- one time, for instance, he spoke about how he had given feedback which he was giving to me to a famous patient. His feedback turned out to be incorrect with me, which I found out after I switched doctors, but that isn't the point -- the point was his style of communication made discussing my medical issues very unpleasant and difficult
